Cricket Betting: England Backed To Beat South Africa

Hills have cut the price of England winning the Test series against South Africa from a starting price of 4/1 to 3/1 and England are already £20,000+ losers. Andrew Strauss is the 5/2 favourite to be top bat, whilst Kevin Pietersen is a 3/1 shot. Jimmy Anderson is a 5/2 to take the most wickets, whilst Stuart Broad can be backed at 7/2.

"South Africa have shown very little in the ODI series and you can see why punters think England are a great price. That said South Africa at home are a very tough nut to crack," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
